As I finished the previous post, I think this world needs a radical revolution. And while I was thinking about a social one, one of the guys form the youth center where I teach human rights mentioned the Zeitgeist movement. And my oh my … I spent 8 hours yesterday watching the Zeitgeist movies and found myself very attracted to this idea. Well it seems very utopian in this very moment, but while watching the movies I found all my thoughts about the social injustice, the cruelty of materialism, the importance of ecological behavior, the absurdity of religious institutions, the essentiality of love, empathy, respect, solidarity, acceptance of diversity … joined in this very interesting movement. And I think this time, when political, economical and corporative elites are trying to save this absurd and injustice system that cyclically brings us into global crisis, causing immense sufferance of innocent people, I think this time is ideal for a social revolution like Zeitgeist movement is suggesting. What do you think?

It was a FARE day for our association. Let me explain ... a couple of years ago I've done a course for the national trainer of human rights, in a so called programme Compass of the Council of Europe. And started a weekly workshop of human rights teaching in a local youth club. We started also a football tournament joining the campaign FARE – Football against racism in Europe. So now, we have human rights workshops once a week and twice a year a special FARE football tournament: one on the 4th of April, the birthday of the youth center called Camac (in the mostly work class / immigrant capital’s suburb Zalog), and one in October during the European FARE week. So Andrej, the president of our association, and the workers at the youth center prepared an amazing football tournament with more the 100 young people competing, several teams from Ljubljana's youth and socialcenters, a team of homeless people called The kings of the streets, a team from the asylum center, a glbt team, a lot of music, creative workshops, also a priest from the nearby church collaborated, he let us use his electricity for free... a magnificent day... I was doing PR and a kind of speaker ... with my leg in the air ... LOL
And in the evening... it wasMartin Luther King's documentary ... it's 41 years from his assassination... and his dream continues to inspire us!

And I discovered also how false Livejournal is. I mean… if you analyze my journal, you will discover that we're traveling all the time, that we're living a perfect love story with my hubby, that we have a lot of friends, that we’re having great fun all the time, that my live is … perfect. But the truth is ... the information that I publish on Livejournal is selected, and of course I like to publish the things that make me happy… so… LIVEJOURNAL IS A BIG LIE! It has not, does not and will not represent the complex reality of my everyday life. There is plenty of dark sides of my living too, painful moments, ordinary events and rutine too… so please, don’t base your perception of my life basing your knowledge on what I publish here… ok?
| I'm concerned because I see more and more unemployed people around me. More and more men and women who, after being good citizens and working for 20/30 years, are now facing the consequences of global crisis. Having difficulties to pay the essential bills, having troubles buying the essential food. | Hmm…. And I’m planning to visit the great bear weekend in Bearcelona and then an AIDS meeting in Vilnius and then another in Istanbul and then vacation in California in October … |
Hmm… I don’t know why, but I am feeling a profound sense of guilt working for a public company and having a more or less secure job … not helping the persons in need … I mean … we have more than we need, they don’t have the minimum they need …
| Yes, being at home for three days has made me rediscover, how this system we have established, how this society is heartless. And I have discovered also, how deeply brainwashed am I regarding my work. |
Cause I felt guilty resting all the day at home, doing absolutely nothing, even if my doctor has prescribed me to rest. I had a small chirurgical intervention on my leg. My left toe nail was removed due to ingrown nail … so I had plenty of time to think. | We need a revolution! Urgently! |

One of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice, is just sth. more then 2 hours drive from LJ city. It's incredible that we don't spend every possible free moment exploring this magnificent creation on the Adriatic see. But sometimes, we lift up our asses with destination Venice. Last Saturday was one of those days; we spent it in Venice visiting our friends Antonio and Giulio. Rain and aqua alta was forecasted, but I felt the first drop on my skin in the evening on the railway station as we were leaving Venezia. Pics tell more than words.

It's several years now, since Liana, a colleague of mine (we do the sex radio show once a week together), has told me about this show ... The confessions of porno diva - Patty Diphusa. It's a cabaret, a rearrangement of some stories Pedro Almodovar published in the newspaper La luna in Madrid in the 80's, writing under the pseudonym Patty Diphusa. The singer is one of the most amazing ethno singer and multiinstrumentalist Bostjan Gombac. The man on the contrabass used to be my colleague at the radio and the drummer ... well ... in the strange mixture of “coincidences” life is offering us every day ... he became Liana’s boyfriend. He is an amazing musician too... and was my guest in one of mine night radio shows. I became an obsessed fan (I know Patty hates it) of Patty Diphusa cabaret (before Liana became the girlfriend of the drummer ;-), I saw it twice and planning to see it another couple of times. I have a CD with all the autograms, and glitters Patty has on her face during the performance. She wrote me also a note: "Fuk ni bil slab!" (The srew was't bad.), which is actually used in one of her song in the cabaret (Ballade about the guy with a leather dick) ... and I know by heart the whole show of course... Well call me obsessed , but I LOVE this show!

Today I received a mail in my mailbox in the office. It was a press release of the Catholic Church in Slovenia about the positions of Pope Benedict the 16th on AIDS. Another text full of dogmas and ideological bullshit on how abstinence and monogamy are the only correct ways to fight hiv/aids. How condoms don't offer 100% protection and how promoting the use of condoms is not equal to promotion of safe sex behavior. Safe sex behavior, as church try to convince us, are monogamy and abstinence only.
1. Sub-Saharan Africa continues, according to the last UNAIDS report, are the region most affected by the AIDS pandemic. More than two out of three (68%) adults and nearly 90% of children infected with HIV live in this region, and more than three in four (76%) AIDS deaths in 2007 occurred there.
2. In absolute numbers: 22,5 million adults and children were living with HIV, 1,7 million of adults and children were new infected, and 1,6 million of adults and children died in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2007.
3. Experts on the field of hiv/aids (immunologists, microbiologists, infectologists, epidemiologists ...) have tones of researches based evidences, which shows that abstinence and monogamy are not a successful way to fight hiv/aids.
Saying that promoting the use of condoms in the region is not a good way fight hiv/aids is equal to genocide.
Saying that the only correct way is abstinence and monogamy is equal to genocide.
CAN SOMEBODY STOP BENEDICTUS XVI??
CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO THE PEOPLE THAT THIS POPE HAS NEVER REALLY STOPPED TO BELONG TO HITLERYUGEND??

Well ... it's just about to get warmer here, but we had 3 weeks of fantastic winter with temperatures never above zero... with freezing cold, temperatures in the capital reaching -12 degrees centigrade and snow. In the part of the country where I come from - west, Mediterranean part close the Adriatic sea - we almost never had snow in the last 30 years ... so for me it's always a great adventure when it snows ... somehow magic ... even now, after more than 10 years living in Ljubljana ... So last Saturday we went for a nice walk a few kilometers outside Ljubljana in the swamp, called the Ljubljana Moore ... just 4 friends a dog and the fantastic nature ... Awesome!
We ended the day with a nice lunch, than a short afternoon siesta, and ice cream with Shrek 3 in the night... Lovely! I just love this moments with friends :-)
